Daniel Lane Tasmanian Chapter PresidentIn preparation for the recently held Presidents Lunch, which celebrates our Chapter Fellows, Life Fellows and Councillors, I have been reflecting on the past years activities and the many people who have contributed to the work we have done this year. I would like to thank the Tas Chapter Institute staff, Jen, Fi, Katie, Loren and Nina. Its amazing to see how much work is undertaken by this committed team. It really is not until you are in this position (Chapter President) that you realise what is actually being done. An incredible amount of work is undertaken, and it is often unseen; so, I would like to recognise that and thank them for that work.I would like to thank the current Chapter Councillors. This year we have tried to instigate some change. For many years, we have unfortunately seen the demise of many chapter committees, but this year we have tried to rectify that. It is not easy, and it wont happen overnight, but I would like to thank our councillors for jumping into and assisting many of the committees by taking the first steps in re-invigorating their existence. In addition, this year we have looked at getting back to our roots and focusing on the issues that relate directly with practice. We have all had our issues with planning, with heritage, and with the exorbitant amount services engineering requirements for projects. I need not go on!So, we have provided strong advocacy at both a local and a state level to identify our concerns and to attempt to overcome some of the situations we are currently facing. Through these meetings and discussions, we believe our voice has been heard. We have been invited to the table, and we firmly believe our concerns are being considered and acted upon.Changes will be made. Some have already been seen, and some are on the way which will hopefully assist with our endeavours.Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to all of our Tasmanian Chapter members for their contribution to the industry this year and wish everyone a safe and relaxing holiday break. I look forward to working with you all again in the new year.The post A MESSAGE FROM THE TAS CHAPTER PRESIDENT appeared first on Australian Institute of Architects.

Justin Hill International Chapter ChairThank you all for a wonderful year! I have been reflecting on the past years activities and the many people who have contributed to the work we have done this year. I would like to thank the International Chapter Institute staff, and the current International Chapter Councillors all of whom have worked together to deliver some excellent results.I would like to thank the current Chapter Councillors for all of their efforts and time given over the past year, many of whom join us online for meetings at various times of the day and night depending on their time zones. It was wonderful to meet face to face in Hobart, Tasmania this year and collaborate with both the Tasmania Chapter, SONA and the creative directors of the Australasian Student Architecture Congress Ground Matters on Bl?ck Party, a combined celebration of International and Tasmanian Chapters awards presentations and the closing party for Ground Matters!This year we are joined by Amy Learmonth as EmAGN (Emerging Architects and Graduates network) representative on International Chapter Council, we are working to grow our EmAGN membership and engagement with this demographic within the International Chapter and having Amy in this role provides a vital connection back to the National EmAGN committee and to our emerging architect members. We have advocated for and been successful in changing criteria of the Emerging Architect Prize, the prize is now to be awarded annually rather than biannually, and further the International Chapter winner will now also be eligible to proceed to the national competition.In addition, this year we have hosted Boarding Pass events in Hong Kong, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, collaborating with the respective Institutes of Architecture in these countries. These events are always an engaging evening, an opportunity to connect with colleagues and share experiences working in architecture internationally. I encourage you to attend the next Boarding Pass event in your international region more on that next year!It can be a challenge to connect when living and working internationally and the International Chapter is delighted to be hosting some Festive Gatherings online to ensure all of our members can connect with us and share in some festive trivia. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet International Chapter Councillors in your region and our leadership team, representing you as members. Those who are not yet members are welcome to join and find out more.Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to all of our International Chapter members for their contribution to the industry this year and wish everyone a safe and relaxing holiday break.The post A MESSAGE FROM THE INTERNATIONAL CHAPTER CHAIR appeared first on Australian Institute of Architects.
